Cascade Hollow

About Cascade HollowUnited States

Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. is the home of George Dickel Tennessee Whisky, in Cascade Hollow near Normandy and Tullahoma in Coffee County, Tennessee. Whisky made in Cascade Hollow was sold by Dickel and Company in the 1870s, the Cascade Distillery site dates from 1877, and the operation shut down with nationwide prohibition in 1920. The distillery was reopened in 1958, with the first mash at the new distillery on July 4, 1959; it is owned by Diageo, which renamed the George Dickel Distillery Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in 2018 when Nicole Austin was named general manager and distiller. Its whisky is known for being chilled and then mellowed through charcoal before it goes into barrels. Its limited releases grew out of searches of the warehouses for older barrels, such as the 17 Year Old found in 2016 during barrel picking for the Hand Selected Barrel Program, and later Austin releases such as Bottled in Bond and Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years.
